It will indeed be interesting. One thing to consider is that we can assume the US Government has enough information about most individuals and businesses to cause significant harm, even if everyone (individuals and businesses) stopped trusting tech companies tomorrow, the damage is done and an enormous trove of intel has been captured.

This looming threat will only get worse as the government shifts its focus from capturing data to utilizing it at scale.
